“Also.”—H. भी, Skr. अपि हि, Pr. वि हि. The various steps from अपि downwards are all retained in S. पि, बि, भि (for बिहि), and भी. The other forms पुणु, पुखि, पिणि, are from Skr. पुनर् “again,” and show a gradual change from the *u* to the *i*, in accordance with S. proclivities. P. नाळ means literally “near to,” locative of नाळ “near.” G. पण, meaning also “but,” is from पुनर्. B. uses ओ, and O. भि.
